Spoty Location Reminder for Android
Dont waste your money on this piece of sh*t. It doesnt deserve 1 star cause the UI is very poor and it doesn't even work.
Its a good idea, but it only worked the first time. After that it simply failed to get the location.
Works fine apart from where you can't exit or properly close the app. Shame :/
Uninstalled this app. It works intermittently. Before the developer answers with the usual "why did you not contact us?", I did on previous occasions and don't have the time to keep emailing you about your non functioning product.
A lot of feature but very hard to configure... almost no documentation except youTube video... I contacted developer to share issue, idea of development. Developer complain about number of stars I gave... I hope they will improve anyway... For now I uninstall until new update...
I had this a long time ago and remember now why I uninstalled it. It's a great concept but not really user friendly. Also I just tried to use it and it didn't give me any notifaction. I'm in the parking lot and still nothing. All location services are on. It shows me on the map, but everything just says unknown road. Unistalling
Not sure if it registers each time?
doesn't seem to accomplish the intended focus. triggers don't work. also no secondary interactivity, can only access thru phone interface. would help if you could register and set up a profile on a computer instead of a phone screen
If you have an under powered phone don't bother; my HTC hero couldn't cut it. Now that I have an atrix it is working out. So far my biggest complaint is the "with in X meters", at Walmart 150 is too small, at home its to big, just me getting used to the program.
Has some cool options that allow power savings, like instead of using gps (battery drain!) to trigger an reminder when you get to work, you can have it set to look for your wifi or cell towers. The ease of use for the to-do or reminder function could be better. But reliable function and low power drain are more important and well implemented. And folks. if you haven't used a geo-reminder. You really have to try this. You know how you left your extra keys at your Moms house last year and you keep forgetting to grab them every time you visit? This app or ones like it will remind you next time you are there. SO HELPFUL!
So very useful! Works great on my SG S3. The customizability is the best part!
Works well and has already saved me a retutn trip once.
Please make it when you click on the spot you can travel to it where it opens up through maps please
Cant move locations once set. Can't make task lists.
Does what its supposed to.
This app would either not send an SMS or would send 15. Got no response when I tried to get support. Waste of money.
WORKS VERRY COOL AP
It works flowless on my HTC wildfire. Problem is that i need a power plant behind my back because it consumes battery fast. That's why the my rating is 3 star. Aplication is perfect, but it's useless because battery can't stand it.
Superb Design! Superb ease of use
I'm very impressed by what's possible with an app like this. My personal experience is that I'm happy with it so far but had to take some time to get used to how it does and does not work. The office building where I work is too far away from the road for Spoty to recognize my address. Once I learned what the issue was it was an easy fix, and I'm happy with this app.
Drain your baterry. Some times works and sometime doesnt. when they make this app stable it will be fine but for the moment i ve going to stay away from it
I think Technology needs to catch up to this app GPS important to this app great work dev.
It was functioning for a while but now it's simply not doing its job. I checked the location triggers many times and they all look fine. It just doesn't do it.
Actually works well on my SG S2. A good understanding of settings is required. Good support service. Michael 06/02/12
This does not work. Very cumbersome UI.
This is a great idea for reminders based on location as well as some actions to take with your phone settings like turning on or off Wi-Fi or sound or having a pop up message. Well done! It's very useful!
Had too many problems with this app on my Samsung galaxy s3, and missed many notifications. Noticed that the GPS was not being turned on from this app. Tried other notification apps and although not as many options as this one I didn't miss notifications. Sent emails to get support and not once received a reply. The only way I could get the app to work was by toggling the use GPS flag under location services which would work for a while then revert back to problems. Uninstalled and awaiting updates?
It's worked a charm. I set a series of reminders and texts just for leaving for and arriving at work and it performed admirably. 1 star ratings are either incompatible phones or operator errors.
Right idea. app doesn't work on my Galaxy Note 2. I want a refund
If you take the time to read all the notes this functions well. However the useability design does not fit neatly into the normal flow of a person's day. This would be easier to use and to understand if the design was more of a reminder system triggered by location then a location centric product that has an option for reminders. No built in design for multiple reminders for the same location. If the design was flipped around it might be a much better app.

Freer products on the market do it alot better and more detailed!

The first test I ran on this app met with disappointment over the location specific texting. I set it to send my wife a notice that i was at the store when I got near Walmart. She got the text when I got to the store. That's good. She received it 12 times while I sat in the parking lot before going in and another 4 times while I loaded bags into the car. Not so good.
Unsure if this App actually works on not. After installing this App took control and disabled all vibration notifications. Uninstalled spoty and they all came back. Waste of money. Would have given 0 stars if possible
The app tells me i have no Internet connection for search even though I'm on both wifi and 4G (both tested and working in other apps). Restart didn't help either. Due to the short refund policy i can't justify waiting for help from the devs, refunding for now but will revisit if i see any response to the connection issue.
Will not search an address with a 4G connection? What's up with that? Hard to use this app.
Good at it. It does what it says it will do.
I often forget things I have to do, even on a short car ride I used to try regular reminders, but I . So now I can set something to remind me as I approach either my destination, or as I'm about to pass something I'm supposed to remember (like the bank). Only reason I don't have 5 stars is it requires GPS to eat up my battery, and it was a little hard to figure out.
